1 out of 5 stars The Whole Scoop on SD cards for the Wii   May 13, 2008
 32 out of 33 found this review helpful

I'm writing this review to clear up any confusion regarding SD cards for the Nintendo Wii:

1. Any brand of SD card will work in the Wii; more reliable brands like Sandisk will also be more reliable in the Wii.

2. There is absolutely NO DIFFERENCE between this card and a standard SD card from Sandisk, except for price. The only reason you should buy this over a standard 2 GB card is if you're willing to pay about five times more for the "Wii" label (2 GB Sandisk cards are about $6 on Amazon as of this writing).

3. The Wii can support up to 8 GB cards, so go buy an 8 GB card for this same price if you want to spend this much. If SD cards that hold more than 8 GB are ever sold, the Wii will not support them unless Nintendo updates its firmware to do so.

4. IMPORTANT: Although it seems like a great idea to have a huge memory card to hold Virtual Console games, WiiWare, and save files, these types of files CANNOT be used directly from SD card storage in the Wii. They must be in the Wii system memory to be played, and Virtual Console and WiiWare games can be re-downloaded at any time, so a large SD card will not be particularly useful for this type of data. What an SD card will be useful for is moving save files from Wii to Wii, storing music and photos that can be accessed by the Wii, and storing special types of data that certain games(Like Super Smash Brothers) will allow you to store on an SD card rather than system memory. Unless Nintendo updates the Wii firmware to allow for save file and Virtual Console/WiiWare gameplay straight from the card, a large SD card won't be very useful.

I hope this helped some of you. Now go buy a regular SD card for cheap!

I paid $24.99 for this card. No tax, no shipping, no hassle, and all the cool features that go with Amazon. Cool things like how quick it was to see when I bought it and for how much.
These cards have speed ratings and this one is not listed. What is listed is that is specked for the Wii, sold by Amazon and your are done. Others that sell cheaper cards, sell this same card for more.
Plug and play, or shop till you drop.
Fair price for the right part from the folks you trust.



3 out of 5 stars Don't Bother with Wii-Branded Card   April 10, 2008

As others have said before me, there's no need to buy a special white SD card. The Wii simply uses the SD card as a data backup; access speed is not a concern, because the Wii doesn't use it to improve processing power or for real-time game saves. That said, I do find that SanDisk's cards are more reliable than PNY or other cheap cards. Don't be fooled by this "high-performance gaming card"; get a regular blue SanDisk SD card and save your money for accessories.


1 out of 5 stars this product is a crock   April 3, 2008

one, this product is not really required to get the most out of your wii like it says in the description. The wii comes with a built-in, albeit small, hard drive for game saves. The only reason to get a SD memory card is to save games you download from the wii store, and even then, you have to download them to your wii and then transfer them to your card. Once the games are transferred to your card, you can't play them until you transfer them off of your card and back onto your wii hard drive, so don't be fooled. So after all of that, if you still want a SD memory card, don't get this one. There are sales on these things every week at bestbuy or office max or circuit city or any electronics store you can name. This is overpriced because it is the only "officially" licensed card.

These are also necessary if you are going to a friend's place and you want to bring game files with you.
